HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device that is easily susceptible to damage. As a basic rule, save important video content to a DVD disc as backup. ∫ The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC power plug from the household AC outlet. In the event of a power failure the content, during recording or play, may be damaged. ∫ The HDD is a temporary storage device The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for viewing once, editing, or for saving to a DVD disc. ∫ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be problem with the HDD If there is an irregularity within the HDD, strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise, etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer become usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, save all content to the DVD disc. Recorded content (data) on an HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable. ∫ Setup precautions ≥Do not place in an enclosed area so the rear cooling fan and the cooling vents on the side are covered up. ≥Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to vibration or impact. ≥Do not place on anything that generates heat like a video cassette This unit recorder, etc. ≥Do not place in an area often subject to VCR temperature changes. ≥Place in an area where condensation does not occur. Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature. Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit. Getting started 7305en.book 15 ページ ≥Conditions where condensation may occur –When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts the unit.) When the HDD (warms during operation) is subjected to cold air, condensation may form on the inside of the HDD and may cause damage to the HDD heads, etc. –When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room. –During the rainy season. ≥In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until condensation is gone. ∫ Cigarette smoke, etc. causes malfunction or breakdown The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor, etc. gets inside the unit. ∫ While operating ≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD may become damaged.) ≥Do not remove the AC power plug from the household AC outlet, or flip the power breaker switch. While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or movement due to rotation is normal. ∫ When moving the unit 1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the display.) 2 Remove the AC power plug from the household AC outlet. 3 Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx. 2 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating for a short time.) ∫ HDD recording time remaining This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording. If the remaining amount of time is insufficient, erase any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording. (Erasing a play list will not increase the amount of time.) ∫ When “HDD SLP (SLEEP)” appears in the display The HDD has automatically gone into SLEEP mode in order to extend the life of the HDD. ≥Press [HDD] to activate. ≥While in SLEEP mode play or recording may not begin right away because the HDD takes time to be re-activated. ≥If there is no disc in the unit, the HDD will go into SLEEP mode after there has been no operation for 30 minutes or longer. When not using the unit, we recommend removing the disc. ∫ Indemnity concerning recorded content Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in the case any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with CPRM compatible recorders and discs. Dolby Digital This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method. When recording on this unit Dolby Digital (2 channel) is the default audio. Down-mixing This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on some discs into two channels. It is useful when you want to listen to the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through your television’s speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing and this unit can then only output the front two channels. Drive In this paticular unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD) and DVD. These perform the reading and writing of data. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible. Dynamic range Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs. Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly. Film and video DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output. Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally being 24 frames per second. Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame). Finalize A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, etc. possible on equipment that can play such media. You can finalize DVD-R on this unit. You cannot record onto or edit finalized discs. Formatting Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM recordable on recording equipment. You can format the HDD and DVD-RAM on this unit. Formatting erases irrevocably all recordings on the disc. Language code list RQT7305 46 Abkhazian: 6566 Afar: 6565 Afrikaans: 6570 Albanian: 8381 Ameharic: 6577 Arabic: 6582 Armenian: 7289 Assamese: 6583 Aymara: 6588 Azerbaijani: 6590 Bashkir: 6665 Basque: 6985 Bengali; Bangla: 6678 Bhutani: 6890 Bihari: 6672 Breton: 6682 Bulgarian: 6671 Burmese: 7789 Byelorussian: 6669 Cambodian: 7577 Frames and fields Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields. u r Frame Field Field ≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but picture quality is generally better. ≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but there is no blurring. HDD (Hard disk drive) This is a mass data storage device used in computers, etc. A disk with a surface that has been treated with magnetic fluid is spun and a magnetic head is brought in close proximity to facilitate the reading and writing of large amounts of data at high speed. LPCM (Linear PCM) These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode. MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality. You can play MP3 you have recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW. Pan&Scan/Letterbox In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem. Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen. Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9. Playback control (PBC) If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus. (This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.) Progressive/Interlace NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P. Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video. Protection You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or erasure protection. Sampling frequency Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound. VBR (Variable bitrate) This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate according to video signal. Enter the code with the numbered buttons.

Use the TV Guide On Screen system to choose TV programs and simplify the recording of your favorite TV shows. Best of all this service is free! Please Note: If you receive your programming solely from a satellite service, the program guide in this unit will not receive program listings or channel information. Without this information, program based recordings cannot be made. However, timer recordings can be made if manually entered. Step 2: Setting up the TV Guide On Screen System After connecting your DVD Recorder as described on page xx, we now need to enter some information about how you receive TV broadcasts. If further assistance is needed contact Panasonic’s Customer Call Center at 1-800-211-PANA (7262). 1. A few moments after you turn the unit on for the first time a Welcome Screen will introduce you with the TV Guide On Screen system. (We strongly recommend using this operating manual together with the on screen information.) Press the “ENTER” key on the remote to proceed. 2 2. Using the UP/DOWN arrow keys on the remote, select the country you live in and press the “ENTER” key to continue. 3. Using either the numeric keypad or the UP/DOWN arrow keys on the remote, enter your zip code. Press the “ENTER” key to continue. 3 4. If you receive TV programming via cable TV, select, “Yes” using the UP/DOWN arrow keys on the remote and press “ENTER.” If you use a roof top antenna, select “No”, press the “ENTER” key and proceed to Step 11. 5. If your local cable company requires you to use a cable box select “Yes” using the UP/ DOWN arrow keys, press “ENTER” and proceed to the next step. If you are not required to use a cable box, select “No” then press “ENTER” and proceed to Step 11. 6. If you’re using a cable box you’ll now be asked a series of questions that will set up the IR Blaster. The IR Blaster is a device that will allow your DVD recorder to communicate with your cable box. Press the “ENTER” key to continue. 4 7. Using the UP/DOWN arrow keys please select the channel your cable box outputs a signal on. If your cable box offers Audio/Video outputs select “Video 1”for optimum video quality. For cable boxes without Audio/Video outputs, select the appropriate channel to receive the cable box signal. Press the “ENTER” key to proceed. 8. Verify that the IR Blaster is connected and positioned properly. This device allows your DVD Recorder to communicate with your cable box. It’s very important that the IR Blaster is connected properly. 5 9. Select the brand of cable box you have, and press “ENTER.”. 10. We’ll now begin trying various IR codes to see which one communicates properly with your cable box. It’s quite common that this phase of the setup may have to be repeated numerous times. Once your cable box properly responds to the DVD Recorder, select “Yes” using the UP/DOWN arrow keys and press “ENTER.” 11. The confirmation screen should now be displaying all of the setting made. These include your zip code, how you receive TV programming, and information about your cable box (if one is being used.) If all is correct, select “Yes” using the UP/DOWN arrow keys and press “Enter.” 6 12. Once at least 24 hours has passed since the setup information was entered, you're ready to perform the final step of the installation procedure. When the unit is powered up you'll see a screen asking you to select the proper channel line-up. A channel line-up is the numerical designations for each station your cable company caries. In most cases you'll have at least two choices, though it's not uncommon for larger cities to offer several. It's important to realize that only one will be correct. It's helpful at this point to have a listing of the channels your cable company offers. You'll select the channel line-up by verifying that a particular network is on the specified channel. Select the proper line-up, press enter and begin to enjoy the TV Guide On Screen system! In Case of a Problem If you were unable to successfully configure the unit, Please contact our Call Center at 1-800211-PANA (7262). One of our representatives will be happy to assist you! Step 3: How The TV Guide On Screen System Operates Once you’ve connected and configured the unit, the TV Guide On Screen system now needs to capture the channel lineup and program data. This will only take place when the unit is placed into the “STANDBY” mode. While the unit is ON, Press the “Power” button to place the unit in “STANDBY” mode. The front panel display will briefly display “Bye” and the time will be displayed. It’s VERY important, especially during the first 7 days of use, that the unit is placed into standby mode when you aren’t using it. If the unit is left “ON” continuously, the Channel Guide data cannot be captured. • • • Following the initial installation, it is strongly recommended that you wait at least 24 hours before using the unit. No damage will occur if the unit is used sooner, but the channel and program information may be incomplete. In order for the TV Guide On Screen system to capture channel and program data your DVD Recorder must be connected to either cable TV or a rooftop antenna. If a cable box is used, make sure the IR blaster is properly installed and the cable box is turned on. Even when you aren’t watching TV the cable box must be turned on, otherwise program data will not be captured. Some cable boxes may offer a switched AC plug so that your cable box remote control can also turn your TV on and off. Utilizing this feature (turning the cable box off) will prevent channel guide Data from being captured. 7 • • The TV Guide On Screen system was designed such that all TV viewing would be done using your DVD Recorder to select the channels. When a cable box is used, and the DVD Recorder is placed in the standby mode, the DVD Recorder will cause the cable box to automatically scan channels to search for program data. In this situation, if the cable box were also connected directly to the TV, it would be impossible to view one channel continuously. Program data in the TV Guide On Screen system may be incomplete due to the following: 1. The unit is unplugged and loss of power occurs. 2. If a cable box is used and the cable box was turned off or if a cable signal outage occurred. A loss of program data due to one of the above conditions would not indicate a technical problem with your unit. Once the power and signal is restored the unit will resume to capture program data when in the standby mode. - TV Guide On Screen System Operating Modes and Features • Once the initial setup for the TV Guide On Screen is complete and the necessary data is downloaded properly, the channel guide features will be ready for use.

Does the TV Guide On Screen system work with analog and digital cable boxes? Answer: Yes. The TV Guide On Screen system works with both analog and digital cable boxes. 2. Q: What if I move and my ZIP code or postal code changes? 3. Q: What if I change my cable hook-up to antenna or vice versa? 4. Q: What if I change cable boxes? 5. Q: I used to have a cable box, but now I get direct cable. What do I do? Answer: (Q:2-5): Press the GUIDE key on the remote, then use the RIGHT arrow key to highlight Setup on the Menu Bar, then use the DOWN arrow key to highlight “Change system settings.” Follow the onscreen prompts to enter new information. 6. Q: Why does it take 24 hours for the TV Guide On Screen system to be ready for use? Answer: In order for the TV Guide On Screen system to receive lineup and listings data it must have access to the tuner. This occurs when the user is not watching the TV Guide On Screen device. The system could be ready in less than 24 hours if the TV Guide On Screen device is turned off for several consecutive hours immediately after initial setup. However, to insure that all complete data is captured, a 24-hour waiting period is recommended. 7. Q: I completed the initial set-up for my TV Guide On Screen hours ago, but when I try to turn it on, a screen message tells me to input the correct set-up information. What’s wrong? Answer: There are three possibilities: 1) Initial set-up was done incorrectly. (i.e.: The user entered wrong country, ZIP/postal code or cable box information.) 2) The TV Guide On Screen data was temporarily unavailable in your area (Wait another 24 hours or Redo set-up). 3) The cable box was turned OFF. The TV Guide On Screen device must be OFF and the cable box powered ON. 8. Q: I had a power outage. Do I need to go through initial setup of the TV Guide On Screen system again? Answer: No. The information you entered is in a protected part of the TV Guide On Screen system memory. Note: For cable box users, the TV Guide On Screen device must be OFF and the cable box must be left ON for the TV Guide On Screen system to receive channel line-up information. 9. Q: How do I access the TV Guide On Screen system setup screen? Answer: There are two possibilities: 1) For first-time setup, press the GUIDE key on the remote, then follow the on-screen prompts. 2) After initial setup, press GUIDE, then use the RIGHT arrow key to highlight Setup on the Menu Bar, then use the DOWN arrow key to highlight “Change system settings.” 10. Q: How do I connect the IR-BLASTER? 15 Answer: Refer to the TV Guide On Screen section of the owner’s manualor follow the on-screen setup diagram or your TV owner’s manual. 11. Q: I’ve entered the setup data. When will I be able to view my TV program listings and use other TV Guide On Screen system features? Answer: After the setup data has been entered, the initial data download for the TV Guide On Screen system requires your unit to be placed in the Standby mode for the first 24 hours. 12. Q: If I incorrectly entered setup data, was unable to complete the initial setup or if I move, how can the settings be changed? Answer: In any of the above cases you’ll need to reset the unit to the factory default settings. Turn the unit “ON” and allow about 30 seconds for the unit to boot up. Next, if the Channel Guide screen appears, press the “TV Guide” button on the remote so that you are viewing a TV broadcast. Simultaneously press the channel UP/DOWN arrow keys on the main unit and hold for approximately 15 seconds. When the unit is re-powered, the channel lineup and program data will be deleted and you can start the setup again. 13. Q: If I make a mistake during setup, how do I go back to the previous step? Answer: There are two possibilities: 1) Press the GUIDE key twice on the remote, then follow the on-screen prompts to re-enter your information. 2) Complete the remaining setup steps. When “Step 4: Confirming Your Settings” appears, select “No, repeat setup process.” Follow the on-screen prompts and input the correct information. Channel Lineups and Listings 1. Q: I’ve noticed that certain local channels are not displayed in the program guide, why? Answer: The actual channels your TV Guide On Screen System displays is determined by market penetration in your local area. In addition, data for local programming which is not provided to TV Guide’s data distribution network would also not be available. Please refer to the section “adding local channels” in the xx section. 2. Q: Why do some or all of the channels display “No Listing?” Answer: There are several possibilities. For a newly installed unit, the TV Guide On Screen system may have not been given enough time to download the initial data. This procedure can only occur when the unit is in Standby mode for a period of 24 hours. The full procedure is explained in the installation section of this manual. Once the procedure takes place the phrase “No Listings“ will be replaced with program information. Other conditions that can result in partial or a total loss of program data include: 1) The channel(s) in question were recently turned ON (in the Channel Editor screen) and TV Guide On Screen has yet to receive channel data for this channel. 2) After completing the initial set-up, the first data download of the day was interrupted when the DVD recorder was turned on. 3) After completing the initial set-up, the first data download of the day was interrupted by a scheduled recording. (This only applies to installations using a cable box.) 16 4) The TV was left powered ON for an extended period of time and the TV Guide On Screen system was unable to receive program data. 5) During the data download the station from which data is downloaded had an unscheduled outage. 6) If using an off-air antenna, marginal poor reception can cause some of the data to be missed. 7) If using a cable box, it was accidently turned off. In installations using a cable box, the box MUST be left on continuously. 3. Q: How long are the “data transmissions?” Answer: TV Guide On Screen data is transmitted at varying times, usually four times per day, and the cycles last approximately three (3) hours. The TV Guide On Screen system only requires one transmission a day to maintain up-to-date program listings. Because the TV Guide On Screen device must be powered off in order to receive new information, multiple transmissions are conveniently scheduled early to mid-morning and early afternoon hours. 5. Q: How often do host transmissions take place? Answer: Channel and setup data used to create the channel lineup is transmitted continuously, 24 hours a day - 7 days a week. Program information that contains details about each program is usually transmitted four times a day. 6. Q: How do I add or delete a channel? Can the order in which a channel is displayed be changed? Answer: Yes. Refer to the “Change Channel Display or Channel Editor” section. 7. Q: I’m not able to receive some channels displayed on the TV Guide On Screen listing. Why is that? Does this indicate a problem with my equipment? Answer: Not necessarily. Cable TV subscribers receive channel data for all available channels your cable TV provider offers. In order to view all the channels, you’d also have to subscribe to all the channels. If you are connected to an off-air antenna the channel data you receive often represents a viewing area larger than you would typically be able to receive. Your location, the type of TV antenna you are using and you distance from each stations transmitting antenna will all determine which channels are viewable from your location. Once you’ve determined which channels can be received, all other can be removed from the TV Guide On Screen listing. See the xx section for instructions on how to remove channels. 8. Q: Why doesn’t my favorite channel have more information in the Information Box or Expanded Information Box? Answer: The hardware that makes TV Guide On Screen possible is a computer chip which has limited storage space. Factors used in determining which programs display detailed program information are number of channels turned ON and availability of descriptions. 9. Q: Why are some of my off-air or cable channels not listed on the “CHANNEL EDITOR” screen? Answer: Presently, TV Guide On Screen does not list all channels in any given broadcast area. As a result, channels are selected primarily on a “majority rules” basis. Channels with the highest potential viewership are given top priority. Availability of program listings is another consideration. 11. Q: Why are some of my channels listed on the wrong number? Answer: There are two possibilities: 1. Data entered into the initial set-up screen was done incorrectly. (i.e. The user entered wrong ZIP/postal code or selected incorrect channel map.) On the TV Guide On Screen Main 17 Menu Bar, highlight Setup and choose “Change system settings”. Verify the data you entered is correct. 2. The cable company may have recently changed their channel lineup and has not yet informed industry sources of the changes. Use the Channel Editor feature to make changes. 12. Q: Why doesn’t the program highlighted match up with the video window on my TV screen? Answer: There are four possibilities: 1) The data entered during the installation setup was incorrect or the channel lineup you selected was incorrect. 2) The station in question may have made recent program schedule changes and the TV Guide On Screen system has not yet been updated. 13. Q: On certain channels I receive two stations; morning and evening programs differe – why is that?
